Who Should Register?

Anyone who is a parent, caretaker, teacher, neighbor, community member, or child advocate should actively and regularly exercise their right to vote. When constituents voice their concerns and priorities, elected officials listen! In short, you should register to vote if you care about children and youth and:
  • Have never registered to vote,
  • Have moved since the last election, or
  • Have not voted in the past five years

Vote for Kids

The Vote for Kids campaign, led by the nonpartisan Westchester Children’s Association, focuses on making children’s issues a priority in the upcoming elections. This initiative provides resources for advocates, parents, and community members to ensure that the needs and rights of Westchester’s youth are a key part of the public conversation among candidates, elected officials, and the media.
